Half-Term events in and around North Solihull.

BRICK-BY-BRICK: A two-metre tall TARDIS will be built at the NEC
this week.

LOOKING for things to do now the schools have broken up, here are some of the events taking place locally...

Wild about the Gardens Week: Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens has organised a series of wildlife-themed events to keep the children amused.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is hedgehog day, with workshops, craft activities and advice from the experts about how to attract these prickly animals to your own backyard.

There will also be a talk by the Help4Hedgehogs team at 2pm.

BRICK 2015: Lego fans will be attempting to build a life-size TARDIS using more than 100,000 of the toy bricks.

The tenacious team are painstakingly creating every detail of Doctor Who's famous phone box, with no glue, string or metal pieces to hold their work together.

The Guinness World Record attempt will be the highlight of the BRICK show - a celebration of Lego taking place at the NEC. The event is on at the venue from October 29-November 1.

Hallowe'en Event: There's something spooky going on down at the vegetable patch!

A special event, to celebrate All Hallow's Eve, will be taking place at the Bluebell Community Gardens, Chelmsley Wood on Saturday (October 31.)

Visitors can look forward to apple bobbing, arts and crafts and a costume parade - we'll be posting further details later in the week.

Catch a film: Residents in North Solihull will no longer have to make the trip to the town centre to see the latest blockbusters, with a new cinema now open at the NEC.

The 11-screen multiplex forms part of the Resorts World development, which was officially opened this month.

One of the first films being screened is Spectre - the latest instalment in the James Bond franchise.

The movie, the fourth to feature Daniel Craig as Agent 007, opened today (Monday) amid rave reviews from critics.
